'Realistic possibility' Wright returns to Mets at All-Star break
There has been plenty of uncertainty among Mets fans about David Wright's future as he deals with spinal stenosis, and now some encouraging news has been delivered.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson shed some light on Wright's timetable for return on Monday.
"What I try to do is look at the next benchmarks," Alderson said, per NJ.com. "What are the benchmarks? One of them is, say, the first of July. We're in the middle of June right now. Another benchmark might be the All-Star break. The trade deadline is July 31. The month of August. So, there are these benchmarks.
"Realistically I'm looking at probably the All-Star break as a realistic possibility."
Wright has not played for the Mets since suffering a hamstring injury in April. While rehabbing the injury, he suffered a back injury, which was diagnosed as spinal stenosis.
